Purpose
The Teaching Resource Advisory Committee (TRAC) advises the Dean of the FAS on non-ladder faculty appointments. It is counterpart to the Faculty Resource Committee (FRC) in the area of non-ladder teaching.
TRAC includes the Associate Deans of the FAS (one of whom serves as chair), the Deans from Yale College and the Graduate School, and other deans and directors. When warranted, the committee can expand to include the Dean of the FAS and other members of the Dean’s office.
